On the suspension front, the Marzocchi Shiver hydraulic front forks and Elka hydraulic rear suspension provide 5 inches of travel with compression damping adjustments, ensuring a comfortable ride over varied terrain. The Brembo hydraulic brakes—both front and rear—offer superior stopping power, instilling confidence in every ride. Plus, with a lithium iron phosphate battery providing a capacity of 3.1 kWh and a recharge time of approximately 4 hours, the Enertia promises to keep you on the road longer, with an impressive lifespan of 2000 recharges.
